4 Claims. (Cl. 2-469) This invention relates to new and usefulimprovements in a glove.

More specifically, the invention contemplates the construction of aglove which is characterized by a one piece trank having a back panelwith four finger portions for the backs of the four fingers, a frontthumb side portion, and a front small finger side portion.

More specifically, the invention proposes that the said front thumb sideportion be provided with a complementary index finger portion continuinginto a thumb back portion, in turn continuing into a quirk portion.

Another object of the invention resides in characterizing the frontsmall finger side portion by providing it with a complementary smallfinger portion.

In one form of the invention it is contemplated to provide separatesecond and third complementary front finger portions arranged in apartlcular manner.

In another form of the invention it is contemplated to arrange thesecond and third complementary finger portions as an integral part ofthe one piece trank.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objectsandadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the followingdescription and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims inwhich the various novel features of the invention are more particularlyset forth.

In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a glove constructed in accordancewith this invention and viewed from the palm side.

Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the glove shown in Fig. 1 viewed fromthe back side.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a developed view of the one piece trank used in constructingthe glove shown in Figs. 1-3, v

Fig. 5 is a developed view of the separate second finger complementaryfront portion used in the glove.

Fig. 6 is a developed view of the separate third finger complementaryfront portion used in the glove.

Fig. 7 is a developed view of one piece trank of a glove constructedaccording to a modification of this invention.

Fig. 8 is a developed view of one of the fourchettes intended to be usedin conjunction with the trank shown in Fig. 7.

The glove, in accordance with the form of the invention illustrated inFigs. 1-6 inclusive, includes a one piece trank as illustrated in Fig.4, having a back panel ID with four finger portions H, l2, l3 and I4,and having a front thumb side portion i5 and a front small finger sideportion IS. The said front thumb side portion [5 has a complementaryindex finger portion l'l continuing into a thumb back portion [8, whichin turn continues into a quirk portion IS. The front small fingerportion l6 has a complementary small finger portion 20.-

The trank described in the prior paragraph is intended to be used inconjunction with a separate second finger complementary front portion 2|which continues in a complementary thumb front portion 22. In additionthere is a sepa rate third finger complementary front portion 23continuing into a portion 24 extending slightly down the palm of theglove. These various parts are jointed together at their adjacent edgeswith seams as thereinafter more fully described.

The seams of the glove may be better comprehended by examing Figs. 4, 5and 6, visualizing the manner in which the glove is folded and stitched.The blank shown in Fig. 4 is folded along the line AB. Then the sectionsII and ll of the index finger are superimposed. The section I! has aside extension portion Il defined by the dot and dash line H, to givethe necessary depth to the index finger. The sections of theindex fingerare seamed together along their free edge portions.

The separate second finger complementary front portion 2| is providedwith side portions! l defined by the dot and dash line 2!. These sideportions 2| are bent backwards and their free edges are seamed to thefree edges of the second finger portion l2. These side portions 2i givethe necessary depth for the second finger. The adjacent edges l'l and 2|of the side portions of the index finger and second finger are seamedtogether.

The thumb portion I8 is bent downwards upon the dot and dash line l8andthen the edge 2 is seamed to the edge I! and the edge 2| is seamed tothe edge I8 and the edge 20 is seamed to the edge l8 to the points 2iand 18, respectively. The edge portion 2! is seamed to the edge portionIS.

The third finger complementary front portion 23 is superimposed on thethird finger back section l3. The third finger portion 23 has sideportions 2.3 divided off by the dot and dash lines 23. These sideportions extend backwards and are seamed at their edges to the edges ofthe third finger portion l3. The adjacent edges Zl and 23 of the secondand third finger portions are seamed together. The edge 2 l is seamed tothe edge 24 I The front side small finger portion I6 is bent over on theline CD. The edge 24 is seamed to the edge 16*. The small finger portion2E] is provided with a side portion'2ll defined by the dot and dashlines 20. This side portion 2% provides depth for the small finger. Itis extended rearwards and seamed along its edges to the free edges ofthe small finger portion Hi. The edge 20 is seamed to the edge 23 Thebottom edge 24 of the palm section 24 is seamed to an area I9 of thequirk portion H9. The side I9 of the quirk 19 is seamed to the edge I6The side l5 of the front thumb side I5 is seamed to the side l6 of thefront small finger portion I6. The back panel I!) is provided withornamental stitches 28.

The dominating feature of the glove resides in the fact that the palmside of the second finger continues into the palm side of the thumb.Moreover, the third finger continues into the palm.

In Figs. 7 and 8 another form of the invention has been disclosed whichdistinguishes from the prior form in several respects. In this form itis intended that fourchettes be used at the sides of the fore finger.Moreover, the second and third finger portions are arranged integralwith the one p ece trank. More specifically, in the form of theinvention shown in-Fig. '7, the one piece trank includes a back panel 39provided with four fingers 3|, 32, 33 and 34, a front thumb side portion35 and a front small finger portion 36.

The said front thumb side portion 38 has a complementary index fingerportion 31 which at the bottom continues into a front thumb portion 33,which continues into a quirk portion 39. The front small finger portion35 is provided with a complementary small finger portion 4!], acomplementary third finger portion 4|, and a complementary second fingerportion 32. At the side the front small finger portion 35 continues intoa complementary thumb portion 43.

The blank shown in Fig. 7 is intended to be folded on the lines EF andGE. Fourchelttes, such as the fourchette 45 illustrated in Fig. 8, areintended to be seamed to the open sides of the four fingers to givedepth to these fingers. The usual piecettes, not shown on the drawing,are intended to be seamed between the bottom ends of adjacentfourchettes 45. The back panel is provided with ornamental stitches 46.The free edge portions of the front portions and 35 are seamedtogetheralong the sides indicated by identical small letters rangingfrom a to f inclusive. It is believed that the complete seaming togetherof the glove will be readily understood from this description.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to theprecise constructions herein disclosed and the rightis reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is:

A glove, comprising a one piece trank having a back panel with fourfinger portions for the backs of the four fingers, a front thumb sideportion and a front small fingerportion, said front thumb side portionhaving a complementary index finger portion continuing into a thumb backportion continuing into a quirk portion, said front small finger portionhaving a complementary small finger portion, a separate second fingercomplementary front portion continuing into a complementary thumb frontportion, and a separate third finger complementary front portioncontinuing slightly down the palm, and seams joining adjacent edgestogether.
